so all you need to do is unbolt the control arm
remove clamps from boot
hold shaft . hit cv joint to dislodge the "c" clip and that is it . impact or leverage will separate the cv joint from the shaft , you will figure it .

8 pages in and we have the diy down to a few words on 3 lines . that`s progress .
easy peasy .
